As per reports, Daniel Radcliffe earning reportedly around $95M – $100M for his role in the franchise not only turned him into the youngest millionaire actor but also helped him beat Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves’ record. Hollywood A-listers like Cruise, Reeves, and even Will Smith known for their $100M roles, seem to have competition from Radcliffe.

Earning an estimate of around $100M from his Harry Potter movies, Daniel Radcliffe beat Tom Cruise’s $100M record as Ethan Hunt in the Top Gun movies. He even defied Keanu Reeves’ $100M record for The Matrix, and Will Smith‘s $100M record for the Men In Black threequel. But what appears even more exciting is that Radcliffe did it at a far younger age than the above-mentioned stars.

Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, and Will Smith undoubtedly held their position in the industry, but Daniel Radcliffe proved his worth at a very young age. Further, immersing himself in renowned projects, Radcliffe went on to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors.
